Welcome to Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association
The Anderson Valley is located in the rolling hills of the coastal region of Mendocino County, about two hours north of San Francisco. Only fifteen miles long, this beautiful valley is home to a unique group of vineyards and wineries producing a broad range of excellent wines. Whether you are an experienced wine aficionado, or are just discovering the pleasure of drinking good wine, the Anderson Valley deserves exploration. Known for our world class Pinot Noir and Alsace Varietals, we offer a great wine tasting destination. Our tasting rooms range from a picnic table at a backyard winery to a beautiful salon at a sleek, modern facility. Browse through our website for lots of information about our wineries and growers and also many of the other attractions in the valley. If there's anything else that you'd like to know, please CONTACT US. We'll be happy to help.
